I am working with Matthew Bailes, Willem van Straten (both at
Swinburne) and George Hobbs (ATNF). I am trying to push the limits of
pulsar timing. Many pulsars can be timed to hundreds of nanoseconds.
This is a very impressive result, yet still below theoretically
attainable precision. One striking example is the millisecond pulsar
J0437-4715, observed regularly as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing
Array. The goal of my PhD is to understand why our measurements are
not as precise as we expect. This includes identifying and correcting
the systematic effects in pulsar timing and improving our theoretical
understanding and predictions of pulsar timing precision.
